Private Estate between Uzes and Avignon, Provence - Peaceful Location, set in lovely gardens with two swimming pools, overlooking valley of vineyards.

This secluded hillside estate between Uzes and Avignon provides an ideal holiday location for those wishing to explore the rich history and culture of the region, or to relax and enjoy the sunshine, food and scenery. It is in the heart of the Cotes du Rhone wine-growing region with many famous vineyards only a short drive away. There are many sporting activities available locally, including canoeing, horseback riding, biking, golf and river swimming. The best of Roman France is within easy reach. The magnificent town of Uzes (with its renowned markets) is 30 less than 30 minutes drive away. Sites such as Nimes (one hour drive), Avignon (45 minutes drive), the Pont du Gard (30 minutes), Orange (30 minutes). Saint Castor is situated on the border of the picturesque Ceze valley and is a short drive from the spectacular gorge of the Ardeche. Slightly further afield are the towns of Saint Remy de Provence, Les Beaux, Arles, and Vaison les Romaine. Saint Castor is very well situated to visit all the major sights in the South of France. Beautiful Mediterranean beaches are just over an hours drive as well. There are numerous medieval villages in close proximity to the property. Here you can buy a vast array of local produce from olives and olive oil to local honey and lavender. You will find everything you might need to prepare Mediterranean dishes during your stay as well as gifts to take home.

Saint Castor is a calm oasis in the heart of the countryside. Backed by old woodland and overlooking a valley of vineyards we are a short stroll from the hamlet of Megier. There are lovely walks all around the property.

The Rose House is a pretty and well proportioned stone house, which was converted and modernised 6 years ago. Upstairs is one large open plan living area with high ceilings and exposed beams. There is a modern kitchen area(with dishwasher, washing machine and microwave), dining area and living area with an open fireplace, TV, telephone and video. There are lovely views from the living and dining area. On the same floor there is a double bedroom (with twin single beds) and an ensuite bathroom with shower and toilet.

Downstairs there are two double bedrooms (one with a double bed and the other with twin singles), a bathroom with bath and a separate toilet.

There is a small terrace around the side of the house, shaded by a large fig tree, which overlooks the valley below.

The Rose House shares the upper swimming pool with the Bake House.

About the Owner

James and Deborah O'Brien found Saint Castor seventeen years ago when they moved from London to France. Their two children, now 15 and 13, were both born and raised here. We live in our own house on the estate and are always around to offer advice on sightseeing, wine tasting, markets and ideas for places to visit.
